Hermanos Zaizar- Canciones de la Revolucion

 This is a great album that I highly recommend to anyone with even a remote interest in Mexican music. Some of the audio is a bit rough however the songs are still classics that date back around 100 years and Los Hermanos Zaizar are some of the best artists to have covered these songs. Also for anyone interested in a bit of military history take note of songs like La Adelita and La Rielera. These songs and others mention women in combat roles during the war. This is something that is rarely mentioned however the Mexican Revolution was one of the first conflicts were women were treated equally to their male counterparts in concern to combat roles. Some women were even known to have attained high ranking positions like commanders, colonels, and such.

Cantos Ferrocarrileros

 This an album that was originally only given to workers on Mexico's national railways known as FNM (Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico) sometime around the late 1980's early 1990's I believe. The album features songs of many different styles of Mexican music everything from bolero to ranchera and corridos all sharing the similarity of having to do something with the railroad. The majority of the songs (except for El Trenecito - Los Hermanos Rincon and La Rielera- Lucha Moreno) are performed by Oscar Chavez.
This is a great album for anyone who enjoys the music of Mexico and also for people to listen to what was once the great national railroads of Mexico which sadly due to corrupt governments no longer exist.

Los Alegres de Teran - Revolucion Mexicana

The Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920 was an extremely important event in the country's history politically, socially, and also musically. During the war "corridos" (short songs about an important person or place or something like that) developed as a way to spread news of what was happening in the front. Songs were written detailing one general's great victory over another at a certain city and the song would spread as a way to communicate the news to people throughout the country. Here is a small sample of songs done by Los Alegres de Teran. All of these (except for Corrido del Norte) share one thing in common being that they were all written detailing the exploits of General Francisco (Pancho) Villa and his men such as General Felipe Angeles. These are definitely worth checking out as they do a great job of describing why many of these men are still seen as heroes to most Mexicans. 

1. Corrido Villista
2. El Siete Leguas

4. La Tumba de Villa
5. El Corrido del Norte
